[00:27] <fortunev> Just installed xubuntu, how do I change my screen resolution. I only see default listed
[00:28] <forces> forces, edit your xorg.conf
[00:29] <fortunev> where will I find it?
[00:30] <Stroganoff> !resolution
[00:31] <fortunev> thanks
[01:04] <SuiDog> Hey there.  I tired to join the #ubuntu channel and it said I was banned from that channel.  Anyway I'm trying to add a sata card after I install ubuntu.  I'm pretty novice at ubuntu.  I think I need to add a module but not sure how to do it .. is there a way to autoreconize the hardware?
[01:04] <TheSheep> SuiDog: I think you should ask about the ban on #ubuntu-ops
[01:05] <SuiDog> ok.. I'll try that
[01:05] <SuiDog> how about my other question.. any suggestions?
[01:06]  * TheSheep has no idea
[01:11] <Mood> SuiDog: sounds like a driver issue if it's hardware recognition
[01:11] <Mood> SuiDog: try lspci to see if you can recognize the sata pci card
[01:11] <Mood> SuiDog: then it's off to google to see if others have had problems/solutions for that pci card
[01:45] <SuiDog> is there a way to have ubuntu auto reconzie new hardware automatically like during install?
[01:46] <investigate_911> Empathy asks me for my keyring password every time i log on. how do i stop this?
[01:56] <genii> Hello. Have been doing some load tests on 8.04 on some older p3 boxes to see whats feasible for hardware. One of the tests involves having 4 apps open from last session during next login (Firefox,Pidgin, Abiword and Thunderbird). Oddly: When ram is 384 or less, Thunderbird won't auto load.When ram is 512 it does. Any ideas why? At 385 still not yet using swap.
[02:14] <bad-wire> sorry no idea
[02:14]  * bad-wire is a p3 500Mhz with 384MB RAm running ices 0.4 + xchat + darkice when needed
[02:15] <bad-wire> works fine
[02:15] <bad-wire> for this, on fluxboix though, xcfe was too heavy for the same usage
[02:24] <genii> Yes, it's very odd and perplexing
[02:25] <genii> It will still manually load at the other ram sizes OK, just not automatically. I thought htis might be some memory saving feature
[02:32] <fortunev> trying to correct my screen resolution with xrandr. What is the default screen output name?
[02:33] <genii> 0:0
[02:34] <fortunev> xrandr returned outpt "0:0" not found
[02:36] <genii> Try perhaps just :0
[02:37] <fortunev> arrrg ... got the same thing "cannot find output ":0""
[02:38] <fortunev> Im a linux noob. Is there a place where the screen name would be listed?
[04:02] <fortunev> genii - sorry for the abrupt drop earlier. lost my screen totally. Figured out the xrandr. Now where do I put the xrandr command so they take affect at logon?
[04:04] <fortunev> where should I put xrandr commands so they take affect at startup?
[04:16] <fortunev> where should I put xrandr commands so they take affect at startup?

[04:32] <fortunev> trying to get some answers on where I should put xrandr instructions to set my screen resolution
[04:32] <rocko> I see
[04:33] <rocko> well it automatically detects the right resolution for me
[04:33] <rocko> in lxde
[04:38] <fortunev> I am a noob to linux. where is lxde?
[04:41] <genii> fortunev: Work occupied me for some time. Apologies. Perhaps see http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=HOWTO_Autostart_Programs
[04:41] <fortunev> genni - no prob thanks
[04:44] <fortunev> Ok. yet another noob question. in xubuntu, how do I login as root?

[07:27] <blankthemuffin> Anybody know of a way to disable the touchpad clicker? As in tap the touchpad and it clicks.
[08:28] <xC> can i run ubuntu tweak in xubuntu?
[09:52] <GINZ> Hi  do we have any geeks awake please?
[09:53] <GINZ> I am trying to copy a folder from a USB drive to /var/www
[09:53] <GINZ> And cannot see how to do it
[09:53] <GINZ> I have Xubuntu 8.10
[09:55] <TheSheep> you need root rights to write to /var/www
[09:55] <TheSheep> start thunar with 'gksu thunar' for that
[09:55] <GINZ>   I use sudo
[09:57] <GINZ> but the terminal starts at the user directory at the same level as the removable disk, and I cannot see how to get the terminal to see the removable disk
[09:58] <TheSheep> I don't understand
[10:01] <GINZ> in Places there are 5 directories, two of them are the user direvctory, and the removable disk
[10:02] <GINZ>  When I open a terminal it gives a prompt user@(this computer)$
[10:03] <GINZ> and only sees files and folders inside the User directory
[10:04] <TheSheep> cd /media/disk
[10:04] <GINZ> I am having to reboot as the mouse cursor was not moving
[10:06] <GINZ> Last night when I was working on it, and typed "sudo cd /"  it told me there was no such command as cd
[10:06] <GINZ> but when I did cd without the sudo it was fine
[10:06] <SiDi> hi
[10:12] <GINZ> TheSheep.. I see the directory I want to copy
[10:47] <GINZ> TheSheep. I found a list of terminal commands, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#File%20&%20Directory%20Commands
[10:48] <TheSheep> GINZ: why don't you just use thunar?
[10:49] <GINZ> I am new to all this
[10:49] <GINZ> do I have thunar?
[10:51] <TheSheep> yes, it's the default file manager
[10:51] <GINZ> TheSheep You said  "start thunar with 'gksu thunar' for that" what would I do after that?
[10:52] <GINZ> IS that what I get when I click Places?
[10:52] <TheSheep> just navigate to /var/www and dragn-and-drop the files you want?
[10:52] <GINZ> In Places I tried drag and drop and the file kept just bouncing back
[10:53] <TheSheep> you have to open the otherwindow with 'gksu', so it runs as root
[10:54] <blankthemuffin> or give your user ownership of /var/www
[10:54] <sinbox> I'm having troubles mounting a sony-ericsson phone, fdisk -l does not show it, but I can see it if I do lsusb, couldn't find anything in the forum about this
[10:54] <blankthemuffin> or add your user to the www-data group and change the group permissions of /var/www
[10:54] <TheSheep> sinbox: I don't think ericssons are seen as disks
[10:55] <TheSheep> sinbox: they use their own protocol for communicating, you will need a special program
[10:56] <sinbox> I choose mass storage as thew option when I connected it, it usually auto mounbts when I'm running gnome but right now I am on fluxbox and normally mount usb devices by hand
[10:56] <GINZ> Blankthemuffin that sounds a good idea.
[10:56] <GINZ> "add your user to the www-data group and change the group permissions of /var/www"   can you tell me how please
[11:02] <GINZ> Oh I think I remember to add the user etc I need to go into phpmyadmin don;t I
[11:04] <sinbox> guess I'll have to log into gnome then :/
[11:58] <LukaszJ> Hello there
[11:58] <TheSheep> hello Łukasz
[12:04] <LukaszJ> Is installing "kdelibs" packages harmful to not KDE-native distro?
[12:09] <knome> LukaszJ, if you use them, your system will be beavier.
[12:09] <knome> *heavier
[12:10] <LukaszJ> knome: I just do for testing purposes. Remember still my problem with the webcam?
[12:10] <LukaszJ> knome: Hello, BTW :)
[12:10] <knome> yeah.
[12:14] <TheSheep> actually, just installing the libraries will only make it use more disk space, as expected
[12:15] <LukaszJ> TheSheep: No other problems then?
[12:15] <TheSheep> running continously a program that uses them will use some ram, also as expected
[12:16] <TheSheep> I think some of the kde services start when needed and keep running afterwards
[12:16] <TheSheep> so that also can affect performance a little, especially if you're low on ram
[12:17] <LukaszJ> I just ran kopete to test my webcam out, it's not so bad after all.
[12:31] <LukaszJ> Hi again
[13:17] <fiendishfish> fucking snow
[13:17] <fiendishfish> ww
[13:18] <Myrtti> tsktsk with the language
[13:18] <TheSheep> not to mention offtopicness
[14:50] <care-bear> somebody care and guide me how to record sound with "sound recorder"?
[14:50] <care-bear> The manual is not very comprehensive
[14:52] <care-bear> guide => help

[18:20] <fortunev> cheers

[19:35] <rocko> update-manager is not allowing me to update my machine what gives ?
[19:35] <rocko> I can update via apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[19:35] <rocko> but still no go with update manager
[19:35] <rocko> I am using xubuntu 8.10
[19:40] <rocko> well it will let me click on the update and to go through it but it does it but does not install
[19:46] <InvaderZim> all: anybody know about running some sort of xubuntu on an original xbox?  all the tutorials and info i find on the internet is so vague
[19:53] <InvaderZim> all: I'm really interested in being able to buy a little machine for $50 bucks, spend some time with it and run linux.  anybody know anything?
[19:53] <vinnl> I suppose you'll want to look for second-hand machines
[19:54] <rocko> InvaderZim just one WORD
[19:54] <rocko> FREEGEEKCHICAGO
[19:54] <rocko> InvaderZim http://freegeekchicago.org/
[19:54] <rocko> they do shipping
[19:54] <whatev> someone sent me a file called foo.xml.pgp and their public key called foo.asc. i imported their foo.asc into my gpg keyring but when i try to decrypt the file with gpg --decrypt foo.xml.pgp i get an error 'gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key ... decryption failed: secret key not available'. any ideas?
[19:55] <rocko> best to contact them about it through their mailing list email address talk@freegeekchicago.org InvaderZim
[19:58] <InvaderZim> rocko: cool link!  but i kind of wanted to do it myself.  i'm new to computers, and to linux especially.  it sounded like fun to go to gamestop, plunk down $50 and then take it home and load my own OS and stuff
[20:00] <fbc> How do you browse the local network with xubuntu?
[20:01] <vinnl> You'd have to install an app for that - I believe a lot of people use pyNeighborhood
[20:02] <fbc> vinnl, thanks, I will try to get that installed.  I like how quick and lite xfce is on my laptop.. I can probably get about 2-3 years out of it now.
[20:02] <vinnl> ^.^
[20:21] <rocko> I see InvaderZim
[20:24] <InvaderZim> rocko: yeah, I'm an excited noob.  I've been looking around some more and some people say gentoox is better.  but it needs to be a modded xbox.  don't know if that means hard modded or soft modded
[20:24] <rocko> I see
[20:33] <InvaderZim> freenode rules

[22:52] <RikiTikiTavi> yeah, the installation is for 8.10, but not the fixes
[22:52] <Stroganoff> have you read this?
[22:53] <Stroganoff> i see.
[22:53] <Stroganoff> you could try aksing in #ubuntu-ps3
[22:53] <RikiTikiTavi> the fixes for BT acc are for 7.10
[22:53] <RikiTikiTavi> good idea
[22:53] <RikiTikiTavi> thanks
